Website: City of Elk River Economic Development I htto://econdev.elkrivermn.gov <br />Economic Gateway Developments for your Website <br />Golden Shovel Agency's third quarter was busy and exciting! Our team has been working hard to stay on <br />top of the most current economic development strategies and trends. As usual every quarter, we strive to <br />bring you cutting edge updates and new tools for your website. We have again focused on many different <br />areas and would like to introduce them to you. All of these developments and upgrades are available to you <br />at no extra charge, if you are interested in adding any of them to your website, please get in touch with us <br />and let us know. This quarter's list of notable developments includes: <br />Community Snapshot Responsive Template <br />This template offers a purely visual presentation of key stats. Unlike the traditional Report template (which <br />presents full data in an extractable format), the Snapshot is intended to give the user the most commonly <br />referenced datapoints in an easy -to -remember factoid. Content areas above and below the infographic <br />interface give space to contextualize the factoids and present a custom picture of the community. <br />Blog Responsive Template <br />This news module template is a good fit for those who want a more informal blog-style news feed. The <br />template takes the user directly to the newest article (rather than a landing page where they pick from all <br />available articles). The navigation focuses on impulse selection on the part of the user, with previous/next <br />buttons (including a hover tip showing the name of the previous/next article to generate more interest) and <br />visual -based sections promoting recent and recommended articles below the initial article. <br />Resource Video Library Expansion <br />The recently -released video library template has been expanded to have the option of defaulting users to a <br />grid view where the entire library of videos is displayed for the user to make a selection. <br />Resource Manager Responsive Template <br />The Resource Manager template is a robust solution which can display results as a grid or a list, and which <br />offers a category view (also displayed as either a grid or list). Categories can be custom color coded or <br />have images associated with them in the category grid view (your GateKeeper rep will need to work with <br />you to customize this). As with the traditional resource library template, this template offers search and <br />sorting functionalities, as well as supporting category pre -filtering and prefiltering by any one of the five <br />resource types. Although sorting by date with the most recent postings shown first remains the default <br />setting, this template also incorporates the popular request to be able to sort resources by name. <br />This template has a strong visual/iconic aspect to the design, but the category -based customizability and <br />use of illustrative resource type icons (showing whether the resource is a document, link, video, photo, or <br />audio file) means that even sites which don't have unique logos for their resource listings can offer users a <br />visual -rich interface. <br />Please note that responsive templates are only compatible with responsive site designs. If you are unsure if <br />your site uses a responsive design or are interested in upgrading, please contact your GateKeeper <br />®Golden Shovel Agency <br />Groundbreaking Economic Development Communications Page 1 <br />
